Does anyone know what kind of microcontroller is used in the Lightning
Reaction shock game? The description of the game is as follows.

How's it played? The game is very simple to play. You just round up anywhere
from 2-4 victims and each grab a joystick. When you hit the start button in
the center of the game the red light will begin to flash and begin to play a
haunting music. When the right light turns green and the music stops the
last person to hit their button gets the shock. If you think you want to
cheat by pressing the button early (you would never do that would you) you
get the shock for the penalty. The fun thing is that each game is timed
differently so there is no way to figure out the timing. This is great as a
drinking game as the more you have to drink the worse your reaction time is.
You can also make your own game out of it, like the person who gets the
shock has to drink a shot.

The game uses the microcontroller to check if the trigger is pressed and
sends a shock output to that controller in which the button was pressed
last. It also checks for any attempt to cheat by pressing the button before
the light turns green. Does the game use interrupts for the trigger and
timer?

Does it matter? Apart from the music, the lowest of the low
microcontrollers with enough IO lines should do this task fine.
